Mike Carey, a coal lobbyist backed by Donald Trump, won a U.S. House seat.
Carey beat several Republicans to win the open House seat in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District.
Carey will face Democrat Allison Russo on November 2 in the General Election.
“Great Republican win for Mike Carey. Big numbers! Thank you to Ohio and all of our wonderful American patriots. Congratulations to Mike and his family. He will never let you down,” Trump said after Carey was declared the winner on Tuesday night.
Recently, Republican Jake Ellzey of Texas won a U.S. House seat.
The mainstream media tried to use the election results to attack Donald Trump.
Trump endorsed Republican Susan Wright, the widow of the late Rep. Ron Wright, in the special congressional election runoff near Dallas.
Even though Susan Wright lost the special election, a pro-Trump conservative still won the U.S. House seat and it will stay in Republican hands.
Ellzey carried more than 53% of the vote in Texas’ 6th Congressional District when several outlets called the race late on Tuesday night.
Ellzey is a Republican state legislator in Texas, so now he will serve in the U.S. House.
The seat opened up following the death of GOP Rep. Ron Wright, so naturally, Trump endorsed his wife for the seat.
Republicans also secured a huge win late last month in a Georgia special election held for a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives.
In a poll shift that greatly upset Democrats, Republican Devan Seabaugh won a decisive victory against Democrat Priscilla Smith in a crushing result of 26 percentage points, 63% to 37%.
In 2020, Rep. Bert Reeves, a Republican, won only by 12%.
Seabaugh won his landslide victory despite costly, all-out efforts by Democrat political engineer and former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’ voting group, Fair Fight, to support his opponent.
“On the day of the special election in June, Fair Fight posted observers at several polling sites. Heading into the final days of the runoff, Fair Fight released a digital attack on Seabaugh criticizing his support for Georgia’s new restrictive voting measure, gun rights expansions, and anti-abortion measures,” the Journal-Constitution reported.
Three-quarters of senior Capitol Hill aides think Republicans are going to win back control of the House of Representatives in the 2021 midterm elections.
Punchbowl News surveyed several senior Capitol Hill aides and reported that a whopping 73 percent think Republicans will take the speaker’s gavel from Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi next November.
Republicans need a net gain of 5 seats to regain the House majority in the midterms next November.
Republicans set a fundraising record for the third month in a row and now have $42.1 million in cash on hand with zero dollars in debt.
House Republicans also have history on their side as they aim to regain the chamber.
The party that controls the White House, which is currently the Democrats, on average loses roughly 25 House seats in the midterm elections.
And the once-in-a-decade redistricting process – pegged to the 2020 census – is expected to generally favor Republicans over Democrats.
Former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy also predicted that Republicans are going to win back control of the House next November.
Gowdy predicted that Biden’s radical agenda will cost Democrats to lose the House next November.
